Overview
Project management is the key for driving business in many governments and non-government organizations ranging from construction, manufacturing, food processing and restaurant, and software industries. With the advancement of technologies, projects are becoming more complicated, and the decision-making process becomes sophisticated. Modern projects are data-driven, and data is an asset for project managers since it can provide more insights in planning and controlling projects. However, to get the proper insights, project managers need to familiarise with tools or techniques to analyse project data during the project lifecycle, for accomplishing the business requirements.
No prior knowledge is assumed, however, basic skills in Microsoft Excel, and knowledge of High School level maths would be an advantage. 鈥
